Where’s the rapture in the Bible?
There is nowhere that the Bible says the Lord will remove His people from the earth to heaven.Where’s the rapture in the Bible?

Can you define and dispensate different types of tribulation occurring in the last 5990 years?The Rapture of the Church has two major competing positions, Postrib and Pretrib. I have friends who are Midtrib, as well. Many are "Pantrib." The argument for Pretrib is based on John Darby's theology called Dispensationalism, in the vicinity of 1830 and passed on by the Schofield Reference Bible, Prophecy Conferences, Dallas Theological Seminary, Hal Lindsey, the Lahaye books, etc.
The Postrib position is the major historical position of the Church, based on the Olivet Discourse and 2 Thes 2. The Pretrib position is largely an argument from symbolism. The Postrib position is supported by explicit biblical doctrine, if it is interpreted as such.
The purpose of the "Rapture" is to be glorified, ie transformed into immortality, like Christ's own immortality. That way we can all reign in the Kingdom of God. To participate in Christ's Coming we must first go to him in heaven to be transformed, and then return with him, all in a second of time.
The dead believers are currently in heaven with Christ. We will ascend to them in a second of time, and return with them within the same second. It is instantaneous. The Church is not going to reign in heaven but over the earth. I don't personally know where the glorified saints will reign over the earth from--heaven or earth?

If that task is too hard, then perhaps guessing at the word tribulation should just stop period. Since tribulation has been nonstop, then what happens may be slightly more than normal.
I mean after the tribulation of two world wars and the Jewish holocaust, the nation of Israel was born. It is literally still after those days. We still have humans living today who remember that tribulation. Those days are fast fading away, and a new time of trouble may happen, but we really do not have to wait for unforgettable tribulation to happen. That is not something that has to happen yet. The one thing that has not happened is that 25% of the population has died in a single tumultuous event. Even the 2 WW's, the Spanish flu, and the holocaust did not kill 25% of human population last century. This is the 4th seal event, that has not been historically experienced to date.
I think it is foolish to declare one has to go through a certain point of tribulation to get the correct return. The return will be the defining feature, not the tribulation preceding. A definite claim at which tribulation is as much speculation, guessing, and private interpretation as setting the exact date of the return itself.
That is not what this version states:The bible doesn't say that 1/4 of the population will die. What it does say is that 1/4 of the earth will be affected by those plagues.

The reason I ask is Matt 24 the gathering of the church is after the last trump and the second coming
Jesus does not distinguish that the tribulation is of God.Matt 24:
[21] For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Scripture teaches a Difference Between-
MEN who CAUSE and GO Through:
"THEIR OWN Tribulations"
AND
GOD HIMSELF who CAUSES "Great Tribulation."
Glory to God,
Taken
